The problem is that in order for a hypothesis to be a valid one it has to show causal relationships between categories of things. Simply put: One thing must lead to another. The question is this: Is it necessary for a person to be a MtF transgender person to have the desire to have sex as a sexy woman? If the answer is no then causality cannot be established.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-73737498262396802362020-04-12T11:06:51.220-07:002020-04-12T11:06:51.220-07:00"so we are getting closer to the day that we ..."so we are getting closer to the day that we may put AGP in the history books" indeed we are Jack :)joanna Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722222181799879120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-69441158256241329342020-04-08T08:55:49.403-07:002020-04-08T08:55:49.403-07:00// I think this theory has been safely debunked//

Wow, she nailed it! <br /><br />Her writing about Dr. Anne Lawrence reminded me of how much I was at risk early on in my investigations about myself. I lived south of San Francisco and as I recall her office was just north of SF in Marin County or thereabouts. I considered going to see her but—thank goodness—didn't. I remain astonished that as a trans woman herself that not only does she support Blanchard's nonsense she used her professional position as some sort of validation. <br /><br />A moment ago I tried to find her old website to determine where she lives; it seems to be taken down. At 69 (according to Wikipedia) I guess she's retired. Good riddance.

The onus is instead on those true believers to prove something which is not scientifically provable. This is why I think at this point in our history that trans people should simply live their lives in peace.<br /><br />The vast majority of the general public has never heard of AGP. I know I was guilty of this myself at one time, but by giving exposure to this theory we continue to breath needless life into it. I even occasionally see a sexologist who knows Blanchard personally who does not agree with him at all; big surprise.<br /><br />I also have trans friends with different sexual orientations who have admitted to me that they have crossdreamed. Well what a surprise indeed :)<br /><br />be safe!joanna Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722222181799879120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-77891889718067290002020-04-06T03:08:00.760-07:002020-04-06T03:08:00.760-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.joanna Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722222181799879120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-54077538126403405072020-04-06T03:04:40.609-07:002020-04-06T03:04:40.609-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.joanna Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722222181799879120noreply@blogger.com
